  • I was
    Waiting for you
    I was
    Standing around
    I was
    Getting older
    I was
    Going down

    If you always get up late
    You'll never be on time
    If you always make it after lunch
    Ba-ba-dada

    I've done work
    Oh, the day never comes
    And I stand up
    Waiting on

    I saw you down there
    I know you were tired
    I saw you
    You looked like a swimmer

    I wanna be with you
    All of the time
    Why can't you satisfy?

    You look good
    But you sound better
    You were the best I had

    If you always get up late
    You're never gonna be on time
    If you always get up late
    You're never gonna be on time

    And that's a shame
    'Cause I like you
    I never see you Writer/s: BRENDAN CANNING, CHARLES IVAN SPEARIN, EMILY HAINES, JUSTIN PEROFF, KEVIN DREW

  • John from Los AngelesThis is an amazing song. Incredibly relaxing. The song seems to be a wistfuly love song from one person who is a little more into the other person who sleeps in a lot.
